Georgia O'Keeffe is now regarded as a major figure of American modernism. It will be a once in a generation opportunity for audiences in Europe to view her work in such depth. -Cody Hartley, Director of Curatorial Affairs, Georgia O'Keeffe Museum
Santa Fe, New Mexican (PRWEB) August 26, 2015
The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum is proud to announce its participation in the 2016 Tate Modern program, which features major exhibitions devoted to the greatest artists of the twentieth century: Georgia O'Keeffe and Robert Rauschenberg at Tate Modern, Francis Bacon at Tate Liverpool, and Paul Nash at Tate Britain.
The exhibition will draw from public and private collections throughout the United States, with the single largest group of works coming from the collection of the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
The Tate Modern exhibition opens in the summer of 2016 featuring Georgia O'Keeffe considered one of the founding figures of American modernism. The exhibition will be the first large-scale, monographic show of her work in the U.K. in more than 20 years. This ambitious and wide-ranging overview will reassess O'Keeffe's place in the canon of modern art, situating her within artistic circles of her own generation and indicating her influence on artists of subsequent generations.
Georgia O'Keeffe's career spanned more than seven decades and the exhibition will encompass the six decades when she was most productive, from the 1910s to the 1960s.
"Georgia O'Keeffe is now regarded as a major figure of American modernism," said Cody Hartley, Director of Curatorial Affairs at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, "and yet there is much that remains under-examined in relation to her work. The Tate exhibition will return to the work, examining it and the woman who created it, aiming to dispel the clichés that persist about her and her paintings. It will be a once in a generation opportunity for audiences in Europe to view her work in such depth."
A key aspect of the exhibition will examine O'Keeffe's professional and personal relationship with Alfred Stieglitz; photographer, modern art promoter and the artist's husband. While Stieglitz afforded O'Keeffe access to the most current developments in avant-garde art, she employed these influences and opportunities to fulfill her own objectives. O'Keeffe's keen intellect, as well as her forceful and resolute character, created a fruitful relationship that was, though not always easy, one of reciprocal influence and exchange.
The popular notion that O'Keeffe was a simple painter of flowers is a misconception she faced throughout her lifetime. The exhibition will reconsider these remarkable flower works in the context of their overall production as complex images, relating them to her engagement with abstraction and issues of form and composition, controversies over the gendered interpretation of her artwork, and to her spiritual engagement with the landscape. Charting the progression of her practice from her early abstract experiments to her later work, this exhibition will re-examine her entire career, her development as an artist, her trajectory west, and the profound influence and legacy of her work.
Georgia O'Keeffe is curated by Tanya Barson, Curator, Tate Modern, with Hannah Johnston, Assistant Curator, Tate Modern. The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue from Tate Publishing and will tour throughout 2017.

Upper School students at Lake Ridge Academy can participate in any number of clubs and organizations, enabling them to explore fields of interest, develop talents, support and be part of community life, and gain leadership experience.
Clubs & Extra Curricular Activities
Student Senate, a body of sixteen class representatives, is the elected student government of the Upper School community. Existing as an outlet for students to voice concerns, the Senate serves as a liaison between the students, faculty, and administration. As guardians of the Honor Code, the Senate works to further develop a just community guided by our four Core Values. Besides holding weekly, open-door meetings, we address and respond to issues by holding full-body, lunch forums where the student body can openly voice their opinions and share their thoughts with the Senate. Student Senate is responsible for planning a number of House events throughout the year and also funds student activity grants. In addition, the senior class representatives constitute the Honor Council, a committee that adjudicates Honor Code violations.
Each year, the Academic Challenge team participates in several interscholastic Quiz Bowl-style events, including competition in a league with seven other Lorain County schools at both the varsity and JV levels, as well as the annual Scholastic Games of Lorain County, broadcast on the radio on WEOL-930 AM.
Book Club fosters a creative environment for discussing books chosen by its members. Book Club works to nourish a student's passion for reading by initiating free-form discussions involving others who share the same interests. The mission of Book Club is to spread the love of literature throughout the community, and provide an outlet for bibliophiles to express their raw opinions and beliefs.
Cause for Paws (C4P) is the Lake Ridge Academy animal protection and awareness club. Cause for Paws promotes and brings awareness to animal rights in our community. We have hosted several events such as our annual movie nights along with fundraisers. Also, the club hosts debates and discussions on current animal ethical issues and debates on relevant topics such as animal testing and dog fighting, and the reason behind these debates and discussions is to raise awareness to advocate animal rights.
Club Med promotes health awareness and volunteer work through our members, who are often interested in the study of medicine or intend to pursue a career in health science. In the fall, there is an annual fundraiser where the proceeds go to Kick-it for Cancer to aid in children's cancer research. There are also other opportunities for volunteering such as the Walk to End Alzheimer's. During the winter, Club Med hosts its largest event, the Health Symposium, where other schools are invited to attend to discuss trending medical topics and hear different experts from the medical field share their experiences.
The Culture Club celebrates cultural diversity at Lake Ridge Academy. Culture Club members will have the opportunity to learn and discuss the many cultures of the world and expose other LRA students to these cultures through a series of activities, festivals and foods. Culture Club will provide students with a platform to become global citizens.
The Gay Straight Alliance (GSA) is an anti-bullying club sponsored by the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network (GLSEN) that advocates freedom of sexuality and general equality in the educational environment. The club focuses on stopping the use of inappropriate language in the school and preventing any and all types of physical/verbal abuse. The group participates in Transgender Day of Remembrance, as well as several GLSEN events, such as Ally Week and Day of Silence.
Green Society is the Lake Ridge Academy environmental awareness and empowerment club. Our mission is two-fold: 1) to educate our members and the school community at large about environmental issues which affect us all in large and small ways, and 2) to raise funds in order to support the actions of outside environmental groups whose goals align with our own as well as to purchase items to reduce the ecological footprint of our school.
Humanitarian Aid Society strives to raise awareness about humanitarian issues around the world. HAS works with the school community and the surrounding community to become involved in different ways to help those affected by issues. HAS also works to raise funds and promote diversity in the community by holding Culture Fest each year. The focus group for the 2015-2016 year is the Malala Fund.
Our club is designed to send students into the world with more confidence and a more developed understanding of social situations. The purpose of this club is to perform and learn to step out of our comfort zones. When we meet we will hone in on the improvisational skills our members already have.
Junior Engineering and Technical Society (JETS) is an organization for students who are interested in exploring engineering. At our weekly meetings, we work on math-based engineering problems in order to develop problem-solving and analytical-thinking skills. Each February, we organize into teams of eight and compete in a regional competition. Last year, we finished third out of 13 teams in Northeast Ohio.
Junior Statesmen of America is dedicated to political and current events, discussions, and debates. Each week, a topic with national or global importance is chosen, and the members meet to discuss its circumstances, its impact, and its repercussions. These issues span a series of themes, including race, religion, law, morality, and rights. Recently, we have created Lake Ridge Academy's first official chapter of JSA. This gives students the opportunity to participate in further debate opportunities and conferences outside of school to expand our community's knowledge on current events.
Knitting for the Needy is dedicated to teaching students the lifelong skill of knitting, as well as providing knitted projects to the outside community. Knitting requires practice, patience, effort, and creativity; introducing this activity to our generation opens an entirely new avenue to be explored. By the end of the 2014-2015 school year, Knitting for the Needy will have donated to over 55 families.
The club volunteers and fundraises for selected local community organizations during each semester. Even though the overseas issues are important, if the people of Lake Ridge Academy come together, we can all make a change to our little part of the world.
Mock Trial is a simulation in which students consider legal cases and assume the roles of attorneys, witnesses, and judges. Students have the opportunity to learn about legal issues and courtroom procedures and to participate in local or regional competitions with other schools.
Model United Nations (MUN) is a simulation of the United Nations organization. Students acting as delegates from their assigned countries debate current issues on the UN agenda. Through negotiations and diplomacy, the MUN student seeks ways for the world community to deal with complex global concerns. The students ultimately participate in the citywide simulation of the United Nations where they are in competition with other schools. The Model United Nations offers an excellent means for one to gain practical experience in a multiracial, multicultural, and multilateral setting.
National Honor Society is a group of outstanding sophomores, juniors, and seniors who have proven their commitment to academic excellence and service. Students are selected on the basis of scholarship, service, character, and leadership. The group demonstrates its commitment by providing tutoring to all Middle and Upper school students referred by teachers as well as through service activities outside of our Lake Ridge Academy community
The Lion's Roar is the esteemed Upper School Newspaper. The school's journalists and artists come together to create a new edition approximately once a month. Articles are written on varying subjects such as Lake Ridge Academy community events, Upper School news, sports, and different media reviews. Each issue also includes original creative mediums such as the creative poem and comic strip. Special issues throughout the year include Back to School, Holiday, and Valentine's editions. All members of the club work hard to produce a new and fun edition for the enjoyment of both the students and staff of the Lake Ridge Upper School.
Programming Club is dedicated to discussing and utilizing new and interesting computing techniques. Throughout the year, we come up with solutions to existing problems in computing, create our own programs, talk about things we have done on our own, and more. It's best for you to bring some kind of computing device (preferably a laptop, because of the full-size keyboard), so you can write code during our meetings. No prior programming experience required.
Founded in 2015, the Rocketry Club builds a variety of different types of rockets and planes. The club has become increasingly involved in FPV or First Person View devices. Since the "The Rocketry Club" Club was founded, we have expanded and have had a noticeable impact on the Lake Ridge modeling community.
An organization committed to furthering the study of Science-Fiction and Fantasy texts. We hold regular discussions concerning specific aspects of the genre, as well as recreational activities such as movie nights and Humans vs. Zombie events, often to raise money for specific causes. It is an open admission club.
Started in 1929, the International Thespian Society has grown into an international organization with more than a million members, but its goals haven't changed; the Thespian Society still strives to make education and arts programs places for good theater and to honor those who do theater well. At Lake Ridge Academy, our troupe produces the fall play and winter musical and attends local, state, and international high school theater conferences.
Zine club independently publishes a Zine every semester at Lake Ridge Academy. A zine is a small inexpensive booklet filled with artistic material, whether it is written word, photography, or illustrations. Zines are distinct from literary magazines in that they are typically small and simple in size and format. Each of the club's zines also carries a theme decided on by the club as a group. The group's main goal is to serve as an extracurricular artistic outlet for students who desire to express themselves without concern for their work being graded or evaluated. Zine Club also hopes to inspire other students to explore independent publishing as an alternate method for communicating and sharing their own ideas and beliefs which they cannot express through spoken words alone.

This document is meant as a general guideline for installing and setting up a Microsoft SQL Server database for NetSource Commerce's ProductCart shopping cart software. This is by no means a comprehensive guide for running a MS SQL Server-based database. For in-depth information on SQL Server, you should consult the documentation included with SQL Server or consult your Web hosting provider.
Creating the DatabaseIf you have a Web hosting account that includes space on a shared SQL server, a database probably has already been setup for you, or there is a tool in the Web hosting account's administration area that allows you to easily create one. If that's the case, skip this section and go directly to "Running the SQL Script".
If you need to create a new database, follow these directions.
- In MS SQL Enterprise Manager, right-click on the "Databases" folder in the Server Manager window and select "New Database…".
- In the new database dialog box that appears, enter the name of the new database that you are going to use for ProductCart.
- Click on "OK" to save the changes.
Running the SQL ScriptYou can now run the SQL script located in the productcart/database folder on your desktop. The script will create all the objects you need in the database.
- If you created the database using a tool provided directly by the Web hosting company, that same tool will likely contain a utility that allows you to run a query. Load (or copy and paste) the ProductCart SQL script in that utility and run it.
- Otherwise you can use a desktop application such as MS Enterprise Manager
Never run the SQL script mentioned above against a database that already contains data, including a database being used by an existing ProductCart-powered store.
Setting Permissions for the Database UserIf a user name and password for the database were created through your Web hosting account administration area, you can skip this section as the user you setup already has the right permissions.
Otherwise, make sure that the database user that is used in the connection string that connects ProductCart to your SQL database has "ownership" rights on all the database objects: create a new User or select a User that has full permissions on all the tables in the ProductCart database. Make sure you are using SQL authentication, not Windows authentication.
Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=SERVER-IP,1433;Initial Catalog=DB-NAME;User Id=USER;Password=PWD;
"SERVER-IP" is the server's IP address
"DB-NAME" is the name of the database
"USER" and "PWD" are the user name and password that grant access to it
DSN Connection to a MS SQL database
"SQLDSN" is the name of the DSN
"USER" and "PWD" are the user name and password that grant access to the database
DSN Connection to a MS SQL database
Migrating from Access to SQL
Moving from an Access to a SQL database once the database has been populated and orders have been processed on the store is still possible, but it can be difficult and it may require hiring a database administrator (DBA). If you have a high-traffic Web site and therefore expect several concurrent users on your store (i.e. browsing and buying at the exact same time), you should definitely setup ProductCart to use a SQL database from the start.
If you need to move from an Access to a SQL database, you will need to contact a database administrator to assist you with the task. ProductCart can provide some recommendations based on feedback received from other ProductCart users.

Since 2005, Friarylaw ADR has offered 64 mediation training and accreditation courses in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. We have trained over 350 individuals from every professional background. We have hosted these courses in Dublin at Friarylaw Chambers and around the island at various regional locations. Friarylaw ADR has also designed customised ADR training programmes for various, specifc professional groups.
1. Mediator Experience
The Qualifying Assessment Program (QAP) must include a methodology for ensuring that Applicants have demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Program's Assessors a substantial level of experience as a mediator. The QAP must include clearly identified criteria on this requirement.
To pursue a Friarylaw ADR advanced training course leading to IMI certifcation, a mediator must have mediated in a minimum 5 disputes (either as a sole or a co- mediator). Of those mediations, at least two must have been remunerated (i.e., not pro bono or volunteer).
Additionally, Friarylaw ADR encourages candidates for advanced training courses to have completed at least 20 hours of continuing professional development in mediation through atendance at courses, worrshops or seminars on ADR, mediation or related subject maters.
For a Friarylaw ADR accredited mediator to be awarded IMI certifcation, Friarylaw ADR will require that an applicant have completed at least 15–20 mediations, covering at least 200 hours of practice time. To tracr the requisite experience, an applicant must produce a time log that lists for each mediation conducted:
- the type of mediation (e.g., civil and commercial, employment, family, etc.);
- the length of the mediation in total (expressed in hours); and,
- the month(s) and year during which the mediations occurred.
As mediation is still in its infancy in Ireland, we anticipate an initially small cohort of mediators who would be eligible for IMI certifcation. We further anticipate that increasing as legislation is enacted in Q1 2012.
2. Mediation Knowledge
All Friarylaw Accredited Mediators in Civil and Commercial Mediation have undertaken 40 hours of mediation training and theoretical study before accreditation. All Friarylaw Accredited Mediators in Family Mediation have undertaken 50 hours of mediation training and theoretical study before accreditation, including specifc training in screening techniques and detailed discussion of the legal framework for family law in Ireland.
To be eligible for an award of IMI certification, a candidate must complete a written exercise that evaluates the candidate's knowledge of mediation theory. The exercise is given post-training.
2.1 Written Exercise
For the written exercise, candidates receive a transcript of a mediation. The mediation transcript is designed to elicit candidate responses in each course learning outcome category:
A candidate's ability to recognise general mediation theory, as well as the characteristics and processes of a competent mediator, is assessed by eliciting a candidate's explanation of a mediation scenario that includes examples of 'competent' and 'incompetent' mediator behaviour. A candidate's recognition of these traits and analysis of how a particular trait affected the mediation is essential.
For example, a question on the written work could ask the candidate to identify whether a mediator displayed competent behaviour and, if not, what the mediator could do to improve his competency. The question would be worth ten (10) points. The assessor then evaluates a candidate's response against the assessment methodology for the question, which is as follows:
The written exercise asks a minimum of ten (10) questions. Each question contained in the written exercise is equally weighted, ranging from 5 to 10 points each based on the question's difficulty and complexity.
A candidate must receive at least 70/100 marks to be successful. The candidate's score is the average of the two assessors' individual scores. If the assessors' scores vary by over 20 points, Friarylaw ADR will appoint a third, independent assessor to determine why a wide discrepancy exists between the original assessors' scores and, in light of the discrepancy and any subsequent reasons discovered, whether the candidate should be accredited.
We designed the written assessment tool to ensure that a candidate must demonstrate competency in identifying mediation theory and the traits and characteristics of high standards of excellence in mediation. Our design ensures a high level of competency while simultaneously recognising that needing improvement in some areas should not bar a candidate from obtaining overall accreditation.
3. Mediator Skills
The QAP must include a methodology for the evaluation of candidates' performance in terms of the occurrence and effectiveness of mediation process and mediation techniques, against high competency benchmarks. The Evaluations/Assessments may be based on roleplay or live action assessments, and may include videotaped and online assessments such as web dramas, self-assessments, interviews, peer reviews, user feedback and other in-practice skill evaluations.
Friarylaw ADR Master Class candidates will be required to undertake a three-day programme of advanced mediator training. This programme includes an assessment by two qualifed assessors, one being external to Friarylaw. The practitioner must demonstrate a high level of competence, in both knowledge of the mediation process and in mediation skills.
The applicant will undertake five role-plays during the Master Class, the final one of which will be videotaped and evaluated by two qualifed assessors, one being external to Friarylaw ADR. A written report will be provided to each participant critically assessing the candidate against the Master Class learning outcomes.
All Friarylaw ADR Master Class advanced candidates are encouraged to undergo bi-annual peer review, where the candidates discuss case outcomes in a controlled, supervised environment.
Further, all mediations administered and case managed under the auspices of Friarylaw ADR require feedback from the mediators and, if possible, from the parties or their legal representatives.
3.1 Role Play Assessment
Two assessors evaluate a candidate's performance in a role play across six areas of competency:
- Gathering Information: Effectiveness in identifying and seering out relevant information pertinent to the case.
- Empathy: Conspicuous awareness and consideration of the needs of others.
- Impartiality: Effectively maintaining a neutral stance between the parties and avoiding undisclosed conficts of interest or bias.
- Generating Options: Pursuit of collaborative solutions, and generation of ideas and proposals consistent with case facts and workable for opposing parties.
- Generating Agreements: Effectiveness in moving the parties toward finality and in 'closing' an agreement.
- Managing the Interaction: Effectiveness in developing strategy, managing the process, coping with conficts between clients and professional representatives.
For each substantive area, a candidate can receive a mark from 1 to 3:
1 = performing at a level below competency;
Each assessor considers a candidates performance against a list of traits and qualities identifed as corresponding to a particular mark. For example, in ''Gathering Information' a candidate would receive a 3 (competent) if the assessor feels that he or she:
Asked neutral, open-ended questions. Listened to disputants describe problems and interests. Summarised and paraphrased their statements. Identified and addressed hidden issues. Clarifed the issues. Demonstrated an understanding of the scope, intensity and contentiousness of the case. Gathered information through incisive and, where necessary, uncomfortable questions.
The assessors' scores are averaged to arrive at a candidate's final score. To be successful, a candidate must receive a minimum of 15/18 points in the role play assessment to be successful.
To ensure that a candidate does not receive grossly uneven scores from the assessors, where the assessors' individual scores differ by six or more points, Friarylaw ADR will appoint a third, independent assessor to determine why a wide discrepancy exists between the original assessors and, in light of the discrepancy and any subsequent reasons discovered, whether the candidate should be accredited.
We designed the assessment tool to ensure that a candidate must demonstrate competency (a '3') in at least three (half) of the substantive areas; in the same light, no candidate can be accredited if he or she is below competency (a '1') in more than one area. Our design ensures a high level of competency while simultaneously recognising that needing improvement in some areas should not bar a candidate from obtaining overall accreditation.
(For example, if Assessor #1 awards 12 points and Assessor #2 awards 18 points, the candidate's average would be 15, ostensibly making him or her eligible for accreditation. Given the wide discrepancy, that would be unacceptable.
In this situation, Friarylaw ADR would appoint the third assessor to investigate the discrepancy.)
4. Program Transparency
The benchmarks and criteria applied by the QAP must be published and be openly accessible on the organization's website. Details of all approved programs will be listed on the IMI web portal www.IMImediation.org and will include a direct link to the credentialing organizations' websites.
Friarylaw ADR has published the required benchmarks and criteria for Friarylaw ADR mediator accreditation. Upon successful determination of this application, Friarylaw ADR will also publish on our website the benchmarks and criteria to qualify for IMI Certifcation. They are available for public scrutiny, query, and feedback at: http://www.friarylaw-mediation.ie/mediation-training/imi-training-accreditation/
5. Program Integrity
Each Assessor must have substantial experience of assessing the performance of mediators. At least one of the Assessors on each Program must be independent of the QAP.
All Assessors of the Friarylaw programme for IMI Certification are approved by the Friarylaw Accreditation Commitee. To be approved, an Assessor must have substantial experience of mediating and of assessing the skills of mediators. At least one Assessor appointed by the Accreditation Committee is independent of Friarylaw (i.e., he or she is neither an employee nor a paid consultant of Friarylaw in the training programme in which the assessment takes place). At least one assessor is always independent of the training faculty.
To qualify as an assessor, one must satisfy the following criteria:
- Subject-matter Knowledge: An assessor must have successfully completed a mediation accreditation programme recognised by the Irish Minister for Justice and Equality (e.g., training completed through a body appointed under either the Civil Liability and Courts Act 2004 or the Multi-Unit Developments Act 2011).
- Mediation Experience: An assessor must have undertaken at least 25 mediations, equalling at least 250–300 hours of practice as a mediator (sole or co-mediation).
- Programme Experience: An assessor must have a substantial understanding of quality programmes, assessments, or other quality practices either through actual experience or training. For example, to meet this requirement, an assessor may demonstrate acting as a trainer/assessor in at least three separate programmes of adult education (similar to a mediation accreditation programme) where candidates are assessed against a set of established learning outcomes.
6. Ongoing Monitoring of Programs
The QAP must include a process for the ongoing monitoring of the performance and practice of the Assessors. IMI will liaise closely with all recognised program organizers to maintain a sustainable quality control system.
On completion of each Friarylaw Master Class programme, a member of the Accreditation Committee shall meet with the principal assessor for that programme to debrief on the assessment.
If the principal assessor has a negative observation about the work of another assessor on that programme, or if there has been any compliant regarding an assessor on that programme, the member of the Accreditation Committee shall investigate the observation or complaint, which may include asking for submissions from the assessor concerned. After investigation, the committee member shall report to the Accreditation Committee in writing about his/her investigation and recommend a course of adequate corrective and preventive actions for Committee approval.
Friarylaw welcomes—and would be subject to—independent monitoring and auditing from the International Mediation Institute in respect of its adherence to the programme guide at its discretion.
7. Commitment to Diversity
The QAP must be accessible on an equal basis to experienced mediators regardless of their professional affiliations, gender, race, ethnicity, age, religion, sexual orientation or other personal characterization.
Ireland is a diverse multi-cultural society. Friarylaw accepts applications for all programmes of accreditation from all sectors of society regardless of their professional affiliations, gender, race, ethnicity, age, religion, sexual orientation or other personal characterisation.
Friarylaw's commitment to diversity statement is published on the Friarylaw website at: http://www.friarylaw-mediation.ie/about-friarylaw-adr/

- The cosmetic disorder I was consulting the doctor on is semi-permanent,
- I needed to stop taking the medicine that had been helping most for it,
- and there was nothing else I could do.
I felt terrible. It made me aware of my own mortality, which is never pleasant, spoiled my body image, and made me depressed about my prospects for the future. Beyond that, I hated the feeling of powerlessness.
At first, that whole cocktail of negative emotions was just a mess and I couldn't sort out all those different causes of me "feeling bad." But as I thought about it more and examined my thoughts, I was able to parse those apart. What I found was that I cared way more about the sense of impotence than the mortality salience. I took that at face value, but then I realized that was a huge discovery. Because: while I can't do anything about dying, and while I probably can't do anything about the cosmetic defect, I totally can do something about the sense of impotence.
When I thought about that sense of impotence a little more, I realized further that I did not use to feel that way. Years ago, I would have been relieved to not be able to do anything about it. I was lazy and would have been happy to not do anything about it if I could justify it to myself that I was out of options. Now, what bothers me most is the opposite - the feeling that I'm giving up and being lazy. That's actually kind of awesome.
Thus, I resolved to not take no for an answer and do some research on my own. I found a veritable wealth of information on the internet about steps I could take to work on it. Beyond that, one site I found suggested habituating a concrete, triggered twice-daily regimen. I cannot express in words how relieved I was at that discovery. Obviously I'm addicted to doing habits.
It felt shockingly good to me - and not just because I was relieved to be doing something. I really love exploring how I'm going to make the habit work, putting that first foot forward, putting that second foot forward, building momentum. I love talking it up to others and thinking through the whole process of trigger-action-reward. I love setting up my accountability log on chains.cc, clicking those first couple circles, and hearing that silly chime sound it makes. I love knowing that it's not just a one-time experience, that I'll get to do it hundreds or thousands of times. Commitment feels really good when you know you're fully capable of following through on it.
If you're not at this stage yet - and most of you probably are not since it took me over a year of constant, dedicated practice - don't fret. Keep hustling and you'll get there. Keep building habits. That's the only step this time.

b: 08-Jan-2003 pc: 175460 w: Edward Kitsis , Adam Horowitz d: Chris Long

Austrian Military Chief of Staff: No One Will Prevent Us from Cooperating with Russia, Austria's President Says Anti-Russian Sanctions 'Disastrous'
"Always make a good treaty with Russia" – Chancellor Otto von Bismarck (attributed)
Sometimes it is the countries that appear to be on the margins of empires that foretell their collapse. In the early 1980s the Soviet Empire's cracks began to widen as the Solidarity movement in Poland and the election of an anti-Communist Polish Pope in the Vatican became harbingers for the breakup of the Warsaw Treaty/Eastern Bloc. Today the ability of leaders in the European Union to openly defy both Washington and Brussels signifies that the European Union that the U.S. spent decades promoting is itself headed toward a breakup like another Union of a generation ago. Hence the widespread derogatory label used by euroskeptics of #EUSSR.
With the EU poised to simply ignore the results of the Dutch vote on an association agreement for Ukraine and soon the British vote coming up on Thursday, June 23rd (the day after the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere, for those like 'W' and @BanksterSlayer keeping track of the esoteric symbolism), the hits are likely to keep coming for the supranational bureaucratic superstate that arrogantly claims to speak for 'Europe'. The widespread 'democratic deficit' whereby the EU only accepts 'yes' for an answer from voters, the empowerment of 'technocrats' like 'super' Mario Draghi who are losing control over their illegal and unconstitutional QE to infinity and helicopter money printing schemes, and popular resistance from both the anti-austerity Left and the nationalist Right are spinning the EU apart like a broken centrifuge.
The Austrians Emerge as the 'Rational Germans' for Moscow
While one can say that the Empire of Chaos may be deliberately trying to wreck Europe by military (war in Ukraine/threats of war with Russia), monetary (pressure on Greece and the eurozone), and migratory assault (immivasion by millions from the greater Muslim Mideast and Africa), the price of 'chaos' as a strategy leaving the USA and King Dollar as the last 'offshore' tax haven and reserve fiat currency standing is alienating rational leaders who refuse to be bullied or bribed into their countries going down with the Anglo-American ship. Austria — the land of beautiful alpine valleys and Viennese kunst und kultur — appears to be one such country.
Austria's leadership is increasingly defying Brussels and Washington's diktats, despite growing concerns about the stability of its banking system nearly 85 years after the failure of Credit Anstalt kicked off the Great Depression in Europe. One could even go so far as to say that the eastward turn of Austria's government towards Moscow this past week as Austrian banks were subject to scrutiny under the EU's new bail-in legislation is NOT a coincidence. If the EU sanctions against Russia were to be even partially lifted this summer, Austrian banks including Raiffeisenbank, which has extensive loan operations in Moscow, would benefit. As would Austrian agri-business which like the food exporters of Spain, Italy, Greece and Poland was hit hard by Russia's counter-sanctions blocking most EU foodstuffs, particularly fruits and dairy products. As RT reported on Wednesday, April 6:
More Than Just Immediate Sanctions Relief, Austria Wants to Remain a Gazprom Hub
In addition to the issue of sanctions and their adverse impact on Austria's financial services, agriculture, and even tourism sectors with Vienna and the Alps popular with affluent Russians (including ex-Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov and his wife the richest woman in Russia, Elena Baturina), there's another major tie between the Austrian and Russian economies — energy. The little town of Baumgarten an der March near the Slovak border sits on top of now exhausted gas fields that are used to store imported fuel from Russia's Gazprom against peak winter and summer demand across Europe. With the failure of the U.S.-backed Nabucco project and the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) from Albania to Italy only starting construction later this year, the Central European Gas Hub AG (CEGH) with its headquarters in Vienna, depends on Russian gas to meet market demand for the clean-burning fuel.
Europe is Hooked on Russian Gas for the Foreseeable Future and Germany is Partnering with Austria on Nordstream 2 — Whether Washington and Warsaw Like it Or Not
Despite the hype about Poland importing Norwegian gas for the first time this year and Lithuania accepting LNG, the collapse in gas output from the North Sea countries like the Netherlands, Denmark and the UK and turmoil in Turkey [plus Indian and Chinese competition for Turkomen/Iranian gas] almost guarantees continued demand for Russian energy for years if not decades to come across Europe. And Austria is an eager advocate for the expansion of the existing Nordstream linkage under the Baltic Sea between Russia and Germany, bypassing Poland, Belarus and Ukraine, a project that moves forward despite claims the spare capacity is not needed amidst weak EU demand for gas as cover for geo-politically motivated opposition:
Austria's Chief of Staff Tells Washington and Brussels While Speaking from Moscow:
'I'm Not Going to Follow Your Orders' Not to Cooperate with Russia
In addition to the 77-year-old Heinz Fischer making what may be his last visit to Moscow as president of the Austrian Republic at Vladimir Putin's invitation and criticizing the sanctions alongside Duma chairman Sergey Naryshkin, another important bilateral meeting took place last week. One that the Anglo-American media, caught up in the #PanamaPapers leaks which are now amusingly being described in the rabidly anti-Russian Washington Post as a Putinist plot, did its best to ignore. And that was Austria's Chief of Staff Lieutenant-General Othmar Commenda greeting Russia's First Deputy Defense Minister (and the alleged author of Russia's doctrine on hybrid warfare) Valery Gerasimov with a pointed message to Brussels and Washington: Austria is a sovereign country and will engage in talks with whomever it damn well pleases about threats to its national security, regardless of Cold War 2 sanctions:
Austria Builds a Big Beautiful Fence to Stop the Immivasion, and Works with Russia to Repatriate Syrian Refugees and Make Mitteleuropa Great Again…
It would have been difficult for Commenda to say it any other way without being blunt to the point of rudeness to big brothers in Brussels and across the Atlantic. While the video from NextNewsNetwork posted above slightly exaggerates when the presenter says Austria is adopting a full fledged alliance with Russia — we won't see Russian troops back in the nominally neutral Alpine country for the first time since the Red Army withdrew following WWII — there is no doubt that Moscow and Vienna have a common interest when it comes to Syria. Namely, Moscow wants to keep Assad or a handpicked successor in power (while blocking any Qatari gas project through the country), which requires bringing the foreign sponsored jihadist insurgency to heel. The Austrian government want the Syrian and other Middle Eastern refugees now pressing against their Balkan borders to be repatriated.
Above: prosperous, orderly and Germanic Austrians don't want this in their country. Uncle Sam isn't doing a damned thing about it and the EU(SSR) is making it worse. Enter Russia…are you getting the picture yet?
In other words, Russia can give the conservative Austrians, under considerable pressure from their people to preserve the country's national character, something they want. The United States government and Obama Administration either isn't willing due to Islamophilia and PC, or is unable to do so at this point. In either case, the result is the same: Vienna and Moscow are being drawn closer together by business as well as the migration and monetary pressures on Europe.
As the Russia Analyst has written in recent weeks, [see "You Forgot About Poland: Central Europe Prepares for Life After Ukraine Implodes and the Dollar/EUSSR Crumble"] lurking behind all of these pressing geo-strategic and economic issues is a longer term trend: the return of Central Europe or Mitteleuropa to the European stage as independent actors, not just as puppets of Washington, London or Berlin. Which means geopolitics will in some sense begin to reflect the growing spirit of nationalism in defiance of the Atlanticist Empire's demands for open borders, multiculturalism, and non-traditional sexual relations from Warsaw to Bratislava, and Budapest to Belgrade.
Colored Revolutions Are Nothing New: They Were Tried in 1848 as Well and Austro-Hungary and Tsarist Russia Historically Opposed Them and the Muslim Ottoman Turks
A cynic might suggest here that the Obama Justice Department will suddenly discover that Julius Meinl has been violating OFAC-imposed sanctions on American trade partners against Iran for many years. Or wonder whether we'll soon see Senator John McCain or Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland flying in to Vienna on missions to hand out cookies to George Soros-funded do-gooders while slamming the heartlessness of Austria protecting its borders.
While Russophobic historians like John R. Schindler (aka ex-NSA analyst and US Naval War College professor @20Committee) have historically emphasized the clashes between the Tsarist Russian Orthodox Empire and the Roman Catholic Habsburgs since the 18th century over the Balkans and Bosporus…they tend to forget that St. Petersburg and Vienna also had two historic enemies in common. That is, two sets of adversaries who were aided by City of London bankers and Parisian salons, including during the Crimean War: the Ottoman Turks, as THE perennially expansionist Muslim threat to Christendom; and the Masonic/Illuminist revolutionaries, who diabolically raged against Church and Crown.
The 'good treaty' that Otto von Bismarck famously said Germany should always make with Russia after all, was called the league of the three emperors. Had it been followed by Bismarck's successors, Imperial Germany would have avoided encirclement between a revanchist France and the vast Russian Empire, with both allied to the Germans preeminent economic rival for world domination, the British (and the increasingly Anglophile East Coast U.S. elites, who eventually dragged America into WW1 using Woodrow Wilson as their technocrat puppet). The First World War, the rise of Bolshevism and Nazism, and the Second World War may have been avoided, with incalculable benefits for European civilization and the world as we know it.
Whether the Viennese can once again act as the wily interlocutors between Orthodox Russia and Catholic Europe in part to prevent a third (or fourth) world war is an interesting question, but one that may pivot on Christian revival (or at least a renewed cultural attachment by non-believers to Christendom) on the Continent. As the rising #AltRight likes to say online, "No more brother wars" (between Europeans, including the 'Mongol-Asiatic' Russians).
What is certain is that for now, Moscow may find a chilly reception in Berlin under the (temporary) grip of the Iron EU/NATOist Chancellor Mutti (Mommy). But the 'rational Germans' of Austria, the modern heirs to Metternich, are more than happy to offer the Russians a warm welcome back to the Concert of Europe — a Europe that no longer needs U.S. supervision.

Currently Microsoft Business Solutions is on the way of creating so-called suites: Microsoft Financials, Microsoft Distributions, Microsoft HR, Microsoft Manufacturing. It is very difficult to say which product will be the core of which suite, but the best guess is this: Microsoft Great Plains – Microsoft Financials and probably Distribution/Supply Chain Management and HR, Solomon – Microsoft Project or Professional Services, Navision – Microsoft Manufacturing. If you have Microsoft Business Solutions Navision and support it for your company then you need to know some technical details about Navision version upgrade and what is going on behind the scenes, which options do you have in case of C/SIDE customization or Jet Reports.

C/SIDE (Client/Server Integrated Development Environment) – The core of Navision is the C/SIDE. C/SIDE is the foundation for all the business management functionality of Navision. It is made up of five building blocks, called object types, which are used to create the application. These five object types are shared throughout Navision to create every application area, and give it a unified, consistent interface. This powerful language allows for the internal construction of new business logic and sophisticated reporting.

About Edmond Lachenal
When Théodore Deck hired 15-year-old Edmond Lachenal as his studio assistant, he could hardly have predicted that the boy would become an internationally respected master, always willing to try something new. Lachenal's early work resembled Deck's but he gradually achieved artistic independence and personal fame. Working in stoneware, he used a hydrofluoric acid bath to cut away the glaze's outer layer revealing the velvety matte surface beneath. As tastes changed, he briefly abandoned applied decorations in favor of organic forms. [Source: Jason Jacques]
